Canadians react to Rolling Up The Rim to Win… potato wedges?

Tim Hortons’ annual Roll Up The Rim To Win contest kicked off last week and while the chance to win a car or coffee is generally a welcome pick-me-up in the depths of winter, there’s one specific prize offering that’s perplexing a lot of Canadians.

Potato wedges?

Just the thing you’ll want when you’ve finished that first double double of the day.

See how Canadians have reacted to ‘winning’ potatoes with their coffees.

Idk how to feel about winning free potato wedges from tims at 7:41am

Co-worker won ‘potato wedges’ for roll up the rim and he’s more irate at that than not winning at all.

I’m 3/9 now which is a great pace BUT I CAN HARDLY COUNT POTATO WEDGES AS A WIN

There’s a one in ten chance that adding potato wedges to roll-up maaay destabilize the entire nation.
